As each prisoner dies, the bell will ring...
After a drugs bust goes wrong, Deputy Sheriff Garrett Nelson is left wounded, with a permanent limp and a career in tatters. On his long road to recovery he finds one consolation - Hannah, his tough-as-nails physiotherapist, and soon they're planning a future together.
Unfit for active police service, Nelson is left with few options, so he gratefully accepts his father-in-law's offer of a job at a Florida penitentiary on the grounds of an old Spanish mission in the Everglades. The prison's chapel, a working bell tower, is now an execution chamber. And Nelson must attend the executions.
Working on Death Row comes with a few simple rules:
- Do not let the inmates get under your skin.
- Do not allow any prisoners to escape.
- Do not take justice into your own hands.
Garrett Nelson will break every one of them.
Gripping and heart-breaking by turns, and beautifully set against the backdrop of Florida's Everglades, The Bell Tower is the latest literary suspense novel from the award-winning, internationally bestselling author of A Quiet Belief in Angels.
